3、n given in the passage.One thing you must consider is that you should only eat wholesome food. Water is the only natural drink and pure water is the best fruit to take into the system. In fruits we take water in a very pleasure way and milk is to a large extent water. From these three sources we wil
4、l obtain as much water as is needed. Tea and coffee are very harmful, especially to children. They make people feel that they have had something to eat; when in reality they have given nothing to nourishment of the body. Children need nourishment food to build up new material as well as to keep the
5、body in repair. If they take into the body that which makes them feel as if they have been fed, when they have not been fed, it is very harmful. I always feel sorry when I see young people using tea and coffee.Perhaps you remember your little cousin Willie, who at ten years of age used to have sick
6、headaches if he did not have his cup of strong coffee for breakfast. His mother did not realize that it was the coffee that injured him. I am sure my daughter will be well satisfied with water and milk, and not desire to take into her system something, which is poisonous. If she does not begin the u
7、se of tea or coffee when a girl, in all probability she will never take up their use later in life, which will be greatly to her advantage.It is unwise for us in our younger days to create false necessities. Sometimes when I have been traveling ! have seen people, who, because they could not get a c
8、up of tea or coffee, were having headaches and feeling very uncomfortable, while I, who drink neither, was perfectly satisfied with my cold lunch and cup of cold water. I had had food and drink. While I would have enjoyed a warmer meal, it was not a necessity either to my health or happiness. When w
9、e really think about it, it seems very small to be a slave to such little things.Girls have much responsibility in regard to the use of alcoholic drinks by young men. Many young men have gone to drunkards graves because they could not refuse the wine glass when offered to them by some pretty, laughi
10、ng girl whom they greatly admired.Girls also are largely responsible for the use of tobacco by young men, and, I am sorry to say, that girls themselves sometimes smoke cigarettes, thinking it funny. If they really knew the poisonous effect of tobacco they certainly would not use it them- selves.I wo
11、uld like to have you study this question of the use of tobacco, so you will know just exactly why to object to its use. Tobacco is very harmful to the nerves. It destroys their power, either their power of emotion or their power of feeling. The man who uses tobacco when under its influence does not
12、realize that he is tired or ill, simply because the nerves that should tell him of this fatigue or illness have for the time being become paralyzed. Tobacco will affect his heart, making it beat too rapidly and so weaken it and shorten his life. It sometimes causes severe throat trouble. General Gra
13、nt and Emperor Frederick both died with throat difficulty, which physicians unite in believing, were caused by the use of tobacco. Your own uncle died, when a young man, from a similar throat trouble from the use of tobacco. So I feel very strongly on this point and would like to have you have a ver
14、y firmly fixed opinion and be ready to express it.Schoolteachers tell us that boys who use tobacco do not keep up with their classes in school as do those who do not use it. Remember what I have said to you in regard to heredity, the transmission of the traits of parents to the children, and you wil
